Abstract
The interaction between children and books is an essential part of the reading experience. Publishers all over the world are working to cultivate reading habits in children and attract attention to traditional books. Considering the invaluable nature of these early reading experiences. This paper investigated the effects of book interaction design on 5–6 years old children, taking into account reading preferences, measuring reading time, and emotional response to improve their reading experience and potentially design books according to these interactions. The results showed that preschool children (5–6 years old) prefer sensory interaction, and that book interaction design has a significant influence on reading time, affective experience, and subjective ratings. Girls around 5–6 years preferred folding interaction and pop-up interaction in reading. This study summarizes these results in order to provide practical guidelines for book publishers, enabling them to design better books for children.

Summary
Book interaction scheme refers to the interaction style between human and book, which enable promising applications to meet the individual needs of readers, creating company business models and integrating smart technologies as part of book development. Interaction with and emotional responses to books are important for younger children’s reading, with repercussions on book selecting, reading pleasure, and reading strategy. It is important to consider the interaction accessibility and emotional experience of books for younger children, and how this affects their decisions when choosing books, as younger children may struggle or switch their attention to other activities. This is especially important when we consider that in recent years, reading for pleasure has declined, especially among children (National Center for Education Statistics, 2001). There are two types of children’s book interaction methods: behavioral interaction and sensory interaction. Behavioral interactions include page flipping, pop-up interaction, draw interaction, rotation interaction, and folding interaction, among others
